Rob Zombie to remake THE BLOB (say it ain't so)

I haven't seen the new HALLOWEEN sequel yet, but this is not the news I was hoping to hear from Zombie's camp. I know he's a big monster movie fan, but considering what he did with, er, TO John Carpenter's classic and considering we already had a perfectly respectable BLOB remake in 1988 courtesy of Chuck Russell...

Rob, you were supposed to be the horror genre's dark knight in shining armor. but thus far, you've done an "homage" to the 70s grindhouse flicks, a sequel to that homage, a violently divisive remake of one of the most influential horror films of all time and now a sequel to that remake. Another remake? Really? Really?
